| | Re: Vista - can you partition within Vista like Acronis can ? Not a good idea. You need to purchase an external USB hard drive and perform periodic backups. Otherwise, if your hard drive fails, you'll also lose access to the data and all will be lost. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows System & Performance --------------------------------------------------------------- "april" wrote: Wondering if i go Vista do i need acronis to split my drive up ? i'm talking splitting with data in place thanks |

Get an external drive and backup to that and don't use secure zone...I think Secure zone is out dated. Good luck, Rich |

Keeping data on a separate partition IS a good idea. Anytime you need to reinstall the OS after a major problem, all data is kept protected. Using a separate drive for data is better, but in the case of laptops, this is not possible. ss. |
